ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus having a toner image carrying member which carries a toner image, an intermediate transfer member or sheet transport type transfer member opposite to the toner image carrying member, a charging device which charges the transfer member for transferring the toner image from the toner image carrying member to the intermediate transfer member or carried sheet, a grounding electrode which contacts the transfer member, an ammeter which measures an electric current through the grounding electrode, and a control device which controls the charging device based on a measured value of the ammeter so as to stabilize said measured value. A power source is connected to the charging device through a resistance and the grounding electrode is in parallel with circuit from the resistance to the toner image carrying member.
